Manchester United have missed a preliminary decision in the battle for second place in the English Premier League. The “Red Devils” did not get beyond a 1: 1 in the home game of the 37th round against relegated Fulham on Tuesday evening and only increased the gap to third Leicester City (Christian Fuchs) to five points. Leicester meets fourth-placed Champions League finalist Chelsea in the evening hit.
The 34-year-old Edinson Cavani brought the team of coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer forward with a remarkable long-range shot and his tenth league season goal (15th) early, Joe Bryan (76th) secured the outsider a draw. For the first time, fans were there again, 10,000 were allowed to go to the Old Trafford Stadium. ManUnited are now three games without a win, after all, after losing to Leicester (1: 2) and Liverpool (2: 4), they once again got a point.
ManCity loses after a 2-0 lead
Manchester City suffered a 2-3 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion in their second game as the new champions despite a 2-0 lead. The “Citizens” took the lead in the second minute through Ilkay Gündogan and were already outnumbered eight minutes later after Joao Cancelo was excluded. Nevertheless, Phil Foden (48th) increased to 2-0 shortly after the restart. Leandro Trossard (50th), Adam Webster (72nd) and Daniel Burn (76th) brought about the turning point.
There was nothing to gain for Southampton at home against Leeds United. The team of Styrian trainer Ralph Hasenhüttl lost 2-0 at home. Patrick Bamford (73rd) and Tyler Roberts (95th) met late for Leeds. The inferior “Saints” are Table-14.
